Since the ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel in late November 2024, Tel Aviv has reportedly committed thousands of violations, killing more than 4,000 people and wounding over 17,000.

Israeli occupation aircraft carried out a series of attacks on Friday, targeting several locations across south Lebanon, in yet another violation of the ceasefire.

According to the Beirut-based Al Mayadeen news network, Israeli warplanes targeted Louaizeh Heights in the Jezzine district as well as the Tibna area in the Saida district. Further south, Israeli aircraft struck the outskirts of the town of Ansar and the Wadi Zifta area, both situated in the Nabatieh district of the Nabatieh Governorate, the report stated.

Al-Jazeera Arabic’s correspondent also reported that the Israeli raids targeted Jabal al-Rayhan and the surroundings of the town of Tebna and Wadi Zifta, in addition to a raid on a vacated mountain in the western Bekaa in eastern Lebanon.

Claims of Targeting Hezbollah

Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee claimed on X that the air force had targeted “a training complex” for Hezbollah’s Radwan Force unit and military buildings.

The spokesperson earlier said that the Israeli military had intercepted “a false target ’in the northern Israeli town of Buram after sirens sounded due to a suspected drone. Reuters cited a source close to Hezbollah as saying the group is not linked to the incident.

Earlier in the day, an Israeli helicopter targeted an excavator in the border town of Aita al-Shaab, near the border, Al Mayadeen reported. The report noted that these attacks are part of Israel’s ongoing violations of the Declaration of Cessation of Hostilities, issued on November 27, 2024, as well as UN Security Council Resolution 1701, passed in 2006.

Ceasefire Violations

Late last month, Israeli aircraft also carried out multiple airstrikes in south Lebanon, targeting the outskirts of the town of Basalya in the Jezzine district and the Shmein area in the Shebaa Heights, Al Mayadeen reported.
